What does the Ark symbolize in relation to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Ark represents Christ as the sole refuge for salvation and safety from judgment.

In the narrative, the Ark serves as a powerful type of Christ, symbolizing safety and deliverance for those inside. Just as the Ark preserved Noah and his family from God's judgment during the flood, Christ is the refuge for sinners facing eternal judgment. The Bible describes Christ as the doorway to salvation, stating in John 10:9, 'I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.' Those who enter into Christ, much like those who entered the Ark, are saved from the wrath to come. The Ark’s structure and design prefigure the perfection of Christ—safe, sound, and established by God as the ultimate means of grace for His people.
